In his graduation speech, in his interviews and in his February announcement, Mr. Zuckerberg is decidedly positive about all that. Now he is saying he wants to make the world more open and easy to connect for more than a decade now, and he doesn’t comply.

“I wondered if I was just wrong, an impostor, a 22-year-old kid who had no idea how the world worked,” Mr. Zuckerberg said. “Now, years later, I understand that is how things work with no sense of higher purpose. It’s up to us to create it so we can all keep moving forward together.”

Following the speech, Mr. Zuckerberg’s voice cracked with emotion as he talked about the high school student he the teachers who are living in the U.S. illegally.

But he was not feeling sorry for himself. He was not even considering of himself.”

10 Memorable Quotes of Mark Zuckerberg

“My best memory from Harvard is meeting Priscilla. I had just launched this prank website Facemash, and the ad (administrative) board wanted to ‘see me.’ Everyone thought I was going to get kicked out. My parents drove up here to help me pack my stuff. My friends threw me a going-away party. Who does that? As luck would have it, Priscilla was at that party with her friends. And we met in line for the bathroom in the Pfoho Belltower (a dorm), and in what must seem like one of the all-time most romantic lines, I turned to her and said- ‘I’m getting kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly.’”

And I promise you if you just take an hour or two a week that’s all it takes to give someone a hand and help them reach their potential.”

“Every generation expands the circle of people we consider ‘one of us.’ And in our generation, that now includes the whole world. … But we live in an unstable time.

There’s pressure to turn inwards.”

“This is the struggle of our time. The forces of freedom, that openness and global community against the forces of authoritarianism, isolationism, and nationalism.
